WSGIServer errors when trying to run Django app

Question

Firstly, here\'s my script:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os

sys.path.append(\'/home/username/python\')
sys.path.append(\"/home/username/python/flup\")
sys.         


        

Answer 1

Solved it. This .htaccess file did the trick, for whatever reason. I swear I tried all this before...

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(adminmedia/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(cgi-bin/myproject.fcgi)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cgi-bin/myproject.fcgi/$1 [L]

Answer 2

The script expects those params to be passed as environment variables. Since they are not present in your shell environment, and the script is not running in the apache fastcgi environment (which provides them), it complains.

Do you have access to apache error logs? What do they say?

Does your host have mod_wsgi support? If so, you could use Django's wsgi handler:

import sys
import os

base = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/..'
sys.path.append(base)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'yourproject.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Further instructions can be found on the modwsgi wiki, and the Django docs.
